Ork Stormboyz

Tomorrow (17th January) sees the release of new plastic Ork Stormboyz.

Ork Stormboyz

Stormboyz, the shock troops of many successful warbands, dedicate their lives to the time honoured martial disciplines of drilling, marching and hurtling through the air. To this end they go to war strapped to rokkit packs that, when activated propel their wearers forward on great tongues of oily black flame.

I do like the new models which seem very Orky. Not sure if I am going to get any as I already have a mob of the old sort.

One of my Ork units I do like are my Stormboyz (even despite Simon calling them the Lipstick Boyz) however they are leaderless, until now!

Games Workshop do produce a Stormboyz Nob, however it is only available by mail order and not from their shops. So when I was up in Nottingham recently I did get the Stormboyz Nob when I visited Warhammer World. It is a nice model and will certainly give my Stormboyz mob a bit more punch.

You get a fair few parts. The main body, two arms, a head and the rokkit! The parts went together very easily. The only exception was the model was too heavy for the slottabase (and the tab was on the thin side).

So I decided to use a resin piece from my Urban Basing Kit and use a 40mm round base instead of the supplied 20mm base.

When I painted my Stormboyz I actually painted the rokkit packs separately, partly as I wanted to use light browns. With this model I have already stuck the rokkit pack to the Ork, so it will be black undercoated. However by using Foundation Paints, I am hoping that this will not be an issue.

Full workbench feature on the Stormboyz Nob.

I have recently updated the workbench feature on my Ork Stormboyz. Here is a work in progress shot of four of the Stormboyz.

Skin tones were done in the same style as my other Orks. The bases have been done, and the uniform (unlike my other Ork Boyz who wear grey) is been done in shades of brown. Here is a rear view, you can see that I have used the Warhammer Fantasy Orc sprue on the first and third Orks from the left.
